Sid Meier's Civilization

Enough with economic victory, spherical maps, and better AI.

What gameplay novelties (i.e. no "civ X" or "leader Y") would you like to see in Civ VII that apparently nobody else wants, and why?

Genuinely curious about some lesser talked about ideas that might contain one or the other diamond in the rough instead of hearing the same suggestings every week. Somewhat unusually, I'll even try my best not to judge harshly. :)

My personal ones would be:

• all this yield stacking should be toned down again, things like Preserves are just ridiculous at this point

• there are too many unique effects around, I'd like to see fewer but more mechanically unique ones (good one: Royal Society unlocking a special ability; bad one: Etemenanki just adding yields to stuff with no unique mechanic involved)

• we need fewer but more complex victory types instead of many specialized ones
